When I was a kid in the 1950s I would pore over my uncle’s stash of 1940s - 50s comics. I remember two scenes from Batman and wonder if anyone can place them.
-
Batman and Robin are trapped in a silo with large (100lbs) bags of rice. And a water hose. Batman places bags in a row from the far wall to the door then hoses down the rice. In minutes the rice bags expand longitudinally and burst the door.
-
Batman has been captured by an “orange” villain. Everything he does involves orange. Batman is tied in a chair and his eyes taped open. A bright orange light is focused on his eyes. He will soon be blinded by the orange light - oh no! But there is a bowl of oranges and Batman picks one up with his feet and squeezes it until it squirts the lamp with orange juice and it pops.
I can quickly see problems with these scenarios! But is there a list of Batman predicaments that might tell when these were published?
